Hi, On my network, I use real IP numbers for all of my hosts. They all get nat''d at the gateway. I use real IPs because sometimes someone needs to connect directly to a host behind the firewall. With my old firewall, I had a trusted-hosts file with trusted host IP numbers in it. My hosts talking to external trusted hosts would not have their IPs nat''d instead they were

Hi, madly looking for an answer to this but haven't found it in the smb.conf man pages yet... I'm using samba for my print server. I use printing = cups with samba. Currently it looks like all print jobs are being retained in /var/spool/samba and it has just filled my var fs :-( and no one can print. I can't seem to find any parameters associated with pruning the jobs, or how long

Hi, I have a few questions. My goal is to run NIS and samba so I have a central point of passwd control and just one place to change passwords. I will eventually have 5 samba servers so this is quite important to me as I don't want to have to change passwords and setup passwords on 5 servers when changing or adding new users. Can this be done? So that if a user changes his password for

You override the default mangling method in samba3 from hash2 to hash. hash2 behaves more like Windows mangling. > mangling method = hash Either take this line out or change it to hash2.

Is it possible with Ferret to find the location of the matches in a document? For example imagine I have 100 documents and I search with the phrase "bob~0.5" and that returns 3 matching documents. How can I then find all locations in a specific document where it matched "bob~0.5". What I need is something like an array that contains the start index and length for each

Hi, During my migration to samba, I had kind of assumed that I could run Samba as a PDC and my windoze server as a BDC to ease the migration path a little and still keep the same domain. I was going to use samba 2.2.5 on the PDC and NT4 sp6 on the BDC. After reading quite a bit, it looks as though this doesn't work? Is there a way to make it work? Does Samba 3 handle this? Is Samba 3

I just want to warn people that want to use the new hashing algorithm for mangled names. And that note should also be put in the man page IMO. You must understand that changing the hashing algorithm on a production server may have unwanted side effects (this is why we maintain by default hash and not hash2 and why it was not back ported to 2.2 initially). Windows clients may save all around

Hi, using samba 2.2.5-UL (on a SuSE-SLOX-System) we have to mangle long pathnames to short ones. We need this for some of our apps which generate batch-files (*.bat) for compilation. Normally this works correctly, exept for a directory named "Only_for_generation". This directory is mangled into "Only_~%0" (it' s NULL at the end). And this is the problem. In

Hello All, I am trying to set multiple users with passwords for modifying grub2 menu entries at boot. I know I can set a "root" user grub2 password with grub2-setpassword. I have also been able to make a grub2 user password using the grub2-mkpasswd-pbkdf2 command and adding ??? set superusers="user1" to the /etc/grub.d/40_custom file. However, I have multiple user

Hi All, As known, samba can mapping non-DOS names under UNIX to DOS-compatible names by using some HASH/HASH2 algorithm. But is there any way we can define a character mapping tables by self, not using HASH? such as: (just a sample) character mapping table: Unix Windows " <-------> a * <-------> b / <-------> c : <-------> d <

Hi all, I run samba 3.6.6 from debian wheezy (version 3.6.6) and i am experiencing some troubles with file name mangling. If i try "dir /x" on a mapped folder it gives me unexpected mangled names: the name mangling matches only the first character and not the first 5 as i expect. For example: if the long file name is LONGFILENAME.TXT, i expect the mangled sholud be something like

I've installed Samba 3.0.7 (stock Debian package), but I'm having some wierd problems with name mangling. The relevant lines in smb.conf are: preserve case = yes short preserve case = yes mangled names = yes mangle prefix = 5 mangling method = hash2 In a share, I did "touch test-file.GHO" to create a long filename. When I do a "dir" under DOS,

I believe that I've found a bug on Samba 2.2.3a. Sure, there is the 2.2.5 version out there, but reading the changelog I couldn't find something that looked like what I've found. Problem is: Some files (very few of them, about 0,5%) are created, with 2 another copies. The file witch would be the real one is perfect. And we got "for free" 2 corrupted copies of it, with

Hi, I'm cross-posting here from serverfault.com in case anyone can help. I just found a similar question on askubuntu.com also without an answer. Switched recently from W2K3 to Samba4.0.9/CentOS6.4 for our fileshare for WinXP clients. Have an ancient (1995!) piece of software that uses 8.3 filename format. After the switch, long filenames became useless in the context of the

Hi All, I'm having a problem with cross subnet browsing and name resolution across an openvpn tunnel. i've found quite a few people who've had the same on mail lists but none of their fixes have worked.
